VFNRadio First Hour March 13, 2014

LISTEN NOW! Greg, John, and Pat discuss how there is hope to be freed from captivity.  They remind us that God hears when we cry out to him.  He has seen your captivity issue in your marriage, children, and your job and knows that you just feel stuck.  You feel like you are living in an oppressive state.  They remind the body of Christ, the family of God, that greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world.   Although you feel stuck do you believe that at any moment you can be set free?  They continue to discuss that the biggest form of captivity is religious captivity.  When revival comes it causes us to reevaluate everything because all we want is God’s presence and to do the right thing.  They remind us that God always take his people on a journey which involves process.  They further remind us of the importance of abiding and hearing God’s voice and obeying what he tells us to do.  At the end it’s always an abiding relationship that will not only draw you closer to the Lord but when you are closer to the Lord you have the opportunity to hear his voice and to do what he tells you to do. 

 Greg, John, and Pat discuss that there is a platform that is being established and if you’re not careful you will miss it.  Certain members in congress recently held an all night talk-a-thon to promote global warming.  They further discuss that usually when members of congress spend long hours in a filibuster it is to oppose a piece of legislation.  However, everyone that participated in the talk-a-thon was supportive of global warning.  What some members of congress learned are that still many others had to learn that things can be established by the spoken word.  When you think about elections and many things today that require us to make a decision it is usually words whether in a speech or other format that persuades us either to take action or not to take action on any given issue.  What was being done appears to be a tactic taken right out of Saul Alinksky’s book, Rules for Radicals.  Alinsky writes in his organizer’s handbook Rules for Radicals, “Remember:  once you organize people around something as commonly agreed upon as POLLUTION, then an organized people is on the move.  From there it’s a short and natural step to political pollution, to Pentagon pollution.” Organizers of the night know that you have to get people to buy in.  God’s people perish for lack of knowledge.  We don’t have to perish because God has revealed to us the strategy that is being employed not only to organize the United States but the world.  Having this knowledge which can be discovered in the segment Organizer of the Day vs. Organizers of the Night will help you not only to fall prey to it but to know how to pray and act in order for God’s kingdom to be exalted.

 Greg, John, and Pat discuss the importance of getting our worship to God right.  Many geographical areas across the United States have suffered drought as predictions of food drought have been predicted and broadcasted.  At the same time we in Numbers 20 a direct correlation between “right worship” before God and God’s abundance provision of food and water.   According to the Barna Group a great majority of Christians surveyed reported that they believe church worship is about them.  A high percentage of Christians have the wrong worship going on at the same time they are asking God to bless their food and bless their water.  A great majority are worshiping themselves.   You have an expectation for God to bless your food but God says you must worship Him.  God told Moses to tell the people to worship him and he will bless their food and water.  Is it possible that the water dried up because your worship has dried up?   Today there are songs in abundance but all the while true worship is lacking.  They encourage us to get our worship right and see how God will bless his people.

John, Greg, and Pat discuss the new documentary film Veil of Tears.

We are all made in the image and likeness of God.  Satan will do everything he can to destroy life.  He tries to take life in the womb as well as going to extreme lengths to rob every human being from their dignity and bring them down as low as he possible can.  His goal is to enslave you. The Bible tells us that Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy.  To disrespect, shame, and hurt a human being is to disrespect, shame and hurt Jesus.  For whatever you have done to the least of these brothers of mine you have done to me is what Jesus said in Matthew 25:40.   How we treat people or allow others to treat people is the same way we allow people to treat Jesus. 

Today God is looking for those who will partner with him to stand for those who can’t stand for themselves as well as looking for those who are willing to be a voice for those who have no voice.  Millions of women and children are abused every year as Christians and as citizens of heaven and of his kingdom we mustn’t close our eyes to these injustices but instead be willing to do something about it.  But you can’t do anything for anyone if you don’t know what is going on.  The ministry Gospel for Asia is doing their best to share and educate the body of Christ of the suffering of women in India with a documentary film called Veil of Tears educating us on the    plight of these women  who face all kinds of abuse, like dowry-related homicide, bride burning, infanticide, and sex trafficking.  We must not forget that a third of India’s population is under this oppression and God expects us to have compassion and help those who can’t help themselves.  They continue to share the three ways that you can help suffering women and children around the world.  The first thing you can do is to inform and educate others of their plight and you can do that by sharing the film Veil of Tears.  The second thing you can do is give financial resources towards providing a way of escape for these suffering women and children and the third thing and most important thing you can do is to strategically pray for their salvation and deliverance.
